Macromedia Fireworks is the best tool for what you want.  It is rather
expensive, but as a user of it, I can tell you it's extremely fast and
effective, and exports out the html for you.  There are no free applications
anywhere close to this that I know of.

To clarify - I mean a tool that will allow me to select retangular areas, and
it will then cut up the image into other rectangular recursive sections, so
that it will fit into a HTML table. Typically the selected areas would be used
for rollovers - ie so you could have multiple rollovers embedded into one
image, and also include some of the navigation properties of an image map.

I used about 5 minutes of my 30 day trail of Macromedia fireworks about 2
months ago, so I can't use that :( I downloaded another 30 day trial of
"Ulead Smartsaver Pro", but that just lets you select the table breaks, as
opposed to the dimensions of a particular area.

I've started writing my own tool in Tcl/Tk instead out of frustration, but I
know that the tool that I want is probably out there somewhere!

Just to be greedy, something which writes out the HTML as well would be • handy..
for the project I have in mind, there will be at least 20 or 30 sub-images per
image. Which is only about 2 or 3 rollovers!

(...) Yeah, I imagine that it is quite nice.. but as a student, that isn't really an option.. Besides, even if I could afford it I would still resent buying something for one bit of functionality that I could program in a few hours :) (...) Shucks, (...)
